Hadn't heard of w0rp/ale, but it looks like an improvement over Neomake. I feel like I've done a pretty good job at enabling a lot of features with only ~200LOC vimrc[0]. I also avoid dependencies that need to be compiled or depend on a scripting language installed to the system. My .zshrc these days even parallels my vimrc style[1].

Same here, I'd never heard of it. I switched over to check it out, and am very pleased with how much more responsive it is than neomake. It's marking things while I'm still in insert mode, and not waiting till I save the file, quite useful. It's probably going to stick around and be my new go too!

Even though I write ruby and javascript all day, I still like to go and read how others are using vim. I usually walk away with a keybinding or plugin that makes my life better.
